[RESOLVED] changing hard drives

Re: changing hard drives
Hi Musterpilot,
It is recommended that you uninstall Prepar3D before making hardware or OS changes.
Prepar3D can be properly uninstalled by ensuring you are connected to the internet, then navigating the Control Panel to the Add / Remove a Program section. Uninstall Prepar3D through this interface.
Cheers,
Chris

Re: changing hard drives
Chris is correct, if you want to change the location of P3D from, say your E: drive to your F: drive, you will have to uninstall and then reinstall.

Re: changing hard drives
Hi guys,
Thanks for the replies I will be changing my drive today what I am doing is changing from a 500 mb to a 1tb drive using the same drive letter so I take it it still applies to uninstalling P3Dv5.3
